Technical Facts On Oracle Data Guard 12c - Far Sync Method

1. A lightweight Oracle database instance
2. Only a standby controlfile (created from primary database like phyical standby database controlfile process)
3. Password file, Standby Redo Log files & archive log files will have in Far Sync Instance
4. NO Data files & NO database to open for access
5. Far Sync database will deployed near distance to Primary Database to tolerate the impact of network latency
6. Far Sync instance will receive from redo synchronsly from primary database
7. Far Sync instance will forwards redo asynchronsly from physical standby database
8. Far Sync instance can compress redo transport
9. Best data protection and least performance impact on Primary Database
10. No changes in application.

Configuring Active Data Guard (ADG) using Oracle Database 12c (With Container Database and Pluggable Databases) - Part-1

Configuring Active Data Guard (ADG) using Oracle Database 12c (With Container Database and Pluggable Databases)

Environment Info:

Oracle Software                : Oracle Database 12c (Release 12.1.0.1.0)
Primary Database (cdb)     : Contains one container database (cdb) and
   three pluggable databases (pdb1, pdb2 & pdb3)
Standby Database (cdbstby) : Physical Standby database

1. Enable force logging mode in Primary Database:

[oracle@dbnode]$export ORACLE_SID=cdb
[oracle@dbnode]$export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome
[oracle@dbnode]$sqlplus /nolog
SQL>connect sys/oracle@192.168.56.111:1521/cdb as sysdba
SQL>alter database force logging;

2. Configure the primary database to receive redo data, by adding the standby logfiles to the primary

SQL>alter database add standby logfile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CDB/standbylog/srl01.log' size 50M;
SQL>alter database add standby logfile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CDB/standbylog/srl02.log' size 50M;
SQL>alter database add standby logfile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CDB/standbylog/srl03.log' size 50M;
SQL>alter database add standby logfile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CDB/standbylog/srl04.log' size 50M;

3. Set LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG and LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 parameters
SQL>alter system set log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST';
SQL>alter system set log_archive_config='dg_config=(cdb,cdbstby)';
SQL>alter system set log_archive_dest_2='service=cdbstby async valid_for=(online_logfile,primary_role) db_unique_name=cdbstby';
SQL>alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size=5G;

4. Put the primary database in ARCHIVELOG mode to enable automatic archiving
SQL>shutdown immediate;
SQL>startup mount;
SQL>alter database archivelog;
SQL>alter database open;

5. Open all Pluggable Databases (pdb1, pdb2 & pdb3)
SQL>connect sys/oracle@192.168.56.111:1521/pdb1 as sysdba
SQL>alter database open

SQL>connect sys/oracle@192.168.56.111:1521/pdb2 as sysdba
SQL>alter database open

SQL>connect sys/oracle@192.168.56.111:1521/pdb3 as sysdba
SQL>alter database open

6. Check the Database Parameters before taking RMAN backup for Physical Standby Database
SQL>connect sys/oracle@192.168.56.111:1521/cdb as sysdba
SQL>show parameter

7. Backup database plus archivelog Create a copy of the primary database using RMAN
[oracle@dbnode]$export ORACLE_SID=cdb
[oracle@dbnode]$export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome
[oracle@dbnode]$rman
rman>connect target /
rman>backup database plus archivelog;

8. Create the needed folders and start the database in nomount and Copying the password file and
required parameters for pfile for Physical Standby Database (cdbstby)a. mkdir cdbstby
b. mkdir /u01/app/oracle/admin/cdbstby/adump
c. mkdir /u01/app/oracle/admin/cdbstby/dpdump
d. mkdir /u01/app/oracle/admin/cdbstby/pfile
e. mkdir /u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdbstby
f. mkdir /u01/app/oracle/recovery_area/cdbstby
g. mkdir /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orclstby/cdb_pdb
h. mkdir /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orclstby/pdbseed
i. chmod -R 777 /u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdbstby
j. chmod -R 777 /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/cdbstby

[oracle@dbnode]$cp /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome/dbs/orapwcdb /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome/dbs/orapwcdbstby

[oracle@dbnode]$sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect sys/oracle as sysdba
SQL> startup nomount pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome/dbs/initcdbstby.ora'

9. RMAN - Create standby database

Oracle Database 12c – Container Database & Pluggable Databases (Part-4)

Plugging an Unplugged Pluggable Databases (PDBs) in Container Databases (CDBs):

Useful Scenario: If you want to upgrade to the Oracle latest version, but you do not want to apply for all PDBs in Container Database. Unplug PDB from Container Database and plug them into newly created Container Database of higher Oracle version.

Connect to Container Database (CDB1)

SQL> conn sys/oracle@localhost:1521/cdb1 as sysdba

SQL> show con_name

CON_NAME

------------------------------

CDB$ROOT

SQL> select name,open_mode from v$pdbs;

NAME OPEN_MODE

------------------------------ ------------------

PDB1 READ WRITE

PDB2 MOUNTED

Close Pluggable Database (PDB2) in Container Database (CDB1)

SQL> alter pluggable database pdb2 close immediate;

SQL> alter pluggable database pdb2 unplug into '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdb1/pdb1/pdb1.xml';

Drop Pluggable database and keep datafiles

SQL> drop pluggable database pdb2 keep datafiles;

[oracle@localhost bin]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdb1/pdb2

[oracle@localhost pdb2]$ ls -lrth

-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 3.5K Jul 4 09:09 pdb2.xml

Connect to Container Database (CDB2)

SQL> connect sys/oracle@localhost:1521/cdb2 as sysdba

SQL> create pluggable database pdb2_plug_nocopy

using '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdb1/pdb2/pdb2.xml'

nocopy

tempfile reuse;

SQL> select pdb_name, status from cdb_pdbs where pdb_name='PDB2_PLUG_NOCOPY';

SQL> select open_mode from v$pdbs where name='PDB2_PLUG_NOCOPY';

Connect Container Database (CDB1) and close Pluggable Database (PDB1)

SQL> alter pluggable database pdb1 close immediate;

SQL> select name,open_mode from v$pdbs;

NAME OPEN_MODE

------------------------------ ------------------

PDB$SEED READ ONLY

PDB1 MOUNTED

SQL> alter pluggable database pdb1 unplug into '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdb1/pdb1/pdb1.xml';

SQL> drop pluggable database pdb1 keep datafiles;

Connect Container Database (CDB2) and Create required directories

[oracle@localhost bin]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdb2

[oracle@localhost cdb2]$ mkdir pdb2_plug_copy

Plug Unplugged PDB in Container Database (CDB2)

SQL> create pluggable database pdb_plug_copy using '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdb1/pdb1/pdb1.xml'

COPY

FILE_NAME_CONVERT=('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdb1/pdb1','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/cdb2/pdb1_plug_copy');

SQL> select pdb_name, status from cdb_pdbs where pdb_name='PDB_PLUG_COPY';

SQL> select open_mode from v$pdbs where name='PDB_PLUG_COPY';
